is amazing, this is bigger than we've seen for any election."

"Anyone who had a polling place in any of the schools in wards one, two or three, those polling locations are either at Restoration Church, or at the Fairgrounds in the Industrial building," She says. "Wards One and Two are the Industrial Building, and Ward Three is Restoration Church."
